FORM 10-QSB NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Nature of Operations - E-Rex, Inc. (the "Company"), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on August 26, 1986 as P.R. Stocks, Inc. On February 26, 1992, the Company changed its name to National Health & Safety Corporation. On November 12, 1992, the Company changed its name to Medgain International Corporation. On June 20, 1994 the Company changed its name to E-Rex, Inc. On February 20, 1999 the Company entered into a business combination (see Note 5). Until September of the year 2000, the Company had no material revenues and was considered to be in the development stage. The Company now operates an Internet web hosting service. The Company continues its development of computer hardware and software products that it intends to sell. Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) under Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings. Basis of Accounting - The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Revenue Recognition -The Company performs all services or delivers all products prior to recognizing revenue. Monthly services are considered to be performed ratably over the term of the arrangement. Professional consulting services are considered to be performed when the services are complete. Fees for certain monthly services, including certain portions of networking, web hosting, and e-mail services, are variable based on an objectively determinable factor such as usage. Such factors are included in the written contract such that the customer's fee is determinable. The customer's fee is negotiated at the outset of the arrangement and is not subject to refund or subject to adjustment during the initial term of the arrangement. The Company determines that collectibility is reasonably assured prior to recognizing revenue. Collectibility is assessed on a customer by customer basis based on criteria outlined by management. New customers are subject to a credit review process, which evaluates the customer's financial position and ultimately its ability to pay. The Company does not enter into arrangements unless collectibility is reasonably assured at the outset. Existing customers are subject to ongoing credit evaluations based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined during the arrangement that collectibility is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized on a cash basis. 7 Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Taxes - The Company records its income tax provision in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Functional Currency - All amounts in the Company's financial statements and related footnotes are stated in U.S. dollars. The Company had no significant gain or losses from foreign currency conversions. The Company has closed its foreign bank accounts during the year 2000 and now operates using U.S. currency. Property and Equipment - Depreciation and amortization is computed by the straight line method with the following recovery periods: Office equipment and software 3-5 Years Furniture 5-7 Years Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; betterments and renewals are capitalized in plant and equipment accounts. Cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to items replaced or retired are eliminated from the related accounts; gain or loss on the disposition thereof is included as income. No depreciation is recorded on property and plant left idle. The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." This statement requires securities which are available-for-sale to be carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific identification. Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses. Non-marketable securities-The Company accounts for investments for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence or for which there is not a readily determinable market value, under the cost method of accounting. Additionally, certain securities are restricted and are not transferable. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its investments accounted for under the cost method of accounting and as of September 30, 2001, such investments were recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. 2. Basis of Presentation as a Going Concern: The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss for the period from inception (August 26, 1986) to September 30, 2000 (the Company's development stage). The Company continues to operate at a loss. This factor, among others, raises substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. 8 The Company's management intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt offerings and revenue from its new operation. However, there can be no assurance management will be successful in its endeavors. 3. Income Taxes: The Company records its income tax provision in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Since the Company has not generated cumulative taxable income since inception, no provision for income taxes has been provided. At Sept 30, 2001, the Company did not have significant tax net operating loss carry forwards (tax benefits resulting from losses for tax purposes have been fully reserved due to the uncertainty of a going concern). At September 30, 2001 the Company did not have any significant deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets. 4. Development Stage Company: During the year 2000, the Company's management determined that the Company is no longer in the development stage. It continues to develop computer hardware and software components, but has added the service of internet web hosting, design and consulting as part of its current and ongoing operations. A development stage company is one for which principal operations have not commenced or principal operations have generated an insignificant amount of revenue. Management of a development stage company devotes most of its activities to establishing a new business. Operating losses have been incurred through September 30, 2001, and the company continues to use, rather than provide, working capital for the development of computer hardware and software. Although management believes that it is pursuing a course of action that will provide successful future operations, the outcome of these matters is uncertain. The Company continues this development and has now started operations in the Internet web hosting, design and consulting industry. 5. Business Combination: On February 20, 1999 the Company entered into a merger agreement with Plantech Communications Systems, Inc. ("Plantech"), a privately held British Columbia, Canada, Corporation. Plantech is a development stage enterprise in the software, computer and internet area. From inception in 1992 to date Plantech has had no revenues. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Plantech shareholders received one share of the Company's common stock for each outstanding share of Plantech stock. The Company issued 8,137,616 shares of its common stock in exchange for all the Plantech common shares outstanding as of February 20, 1999. The above business combination was accounted for under the purchase method. There was no significant difference between the purchase cost and the fair value of net assets/liabilities acquired, thus no goodwill was recorded. Plantech's results of operations are included in the Company's statement of operations from the date of merger, February 20, 1999. The following table sets forth certain results of operations for the periods presented as if the Plantech business combination had been consummated on the same terms at the Plantech inception in 1992. Inception Jan. 1, 1999 (8/26/86) To Feb. 20, To Dec. 31, 1999 1999 ------------- ------------- Revenues $ -- $ -- Net (Loss) $ (230,954) $ (616,086) 9 6. Litigation: On August 4, 2000, Crusader Capital Group, Inc. filed a complaint against the company in civil action number CV-N-411-DWH-RAM in the United States District Court for the district of Nevada. A settlement agreement has been reached and the Company has issued a total of 166,667 shares of restricted common stock that was delivered to Crusader Capital Group, Inc. in conjunction with the final settlement agreement. In January, 2000 the Board of Directors resolved to settle a British Columbia Supreme Court action brought against the Company for an unpaid vendor bill for $25,000.00. The Company also accepted from the same vendor a return of 50,000 shares of the Company stock that the vendor held. 7. Related Party Transactions: On September 1, 2000 the Company completed the purchase of assets from Webulate LLC. The assets include software, equipment and stock in DiveDepot.Com, Inc. The transaction was completed with $40,000 in cash and $200,000 in Convertible Debenture Bonds for a total value of $240,000. The President of the Company, Mr. Dilley, is also on the Board of Directors of DiveDepot.Com, Inc. The Company entered into an agreement on January 21, 2000 with International Investment Banking, Inc. ("IIBI") whereby IIBI will serve as senior management of the Company for an initial term of two years unless further extended by mutual agreement of the parties. The Chairman of the Company, Donald A. Mitchell, also controls IIBI. Pursuant to the agreement, IIBI receives $10,000 per month and reimbursement of normal business expenses that it incurs on behalf of the Company and certain expenses of individual consultants that IIBI assigns to carry out the duties and responsibilities of IIBI. Thereafter the annual compensation shall increase at a rate of 20% per year. In addition to monthly compensation, IIBI or Mr. Mitchell may be entitled to receive an annual bonus as determined by the Company's Board of Directors payable in common stock or cash. Mr. Mitchell was granted 2,000,000 shares of common stock representing 1,000,000 common shares for each year of IIBI's engagement. As an addendum to this agreement, IIBI was directed on the Company's behalf to execute the following: Purchase 8,237,616 shares of stock from two of the Company's former directors for $250,000; issue 6,000,000 shares of stock to Stockbroker Relations, Inc. per an investor relations contract; and issue IIBI 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock. On February 28, 2001 the board of Directors issued 600,000 restricted shares under Regulation D to IIBI in satisfaction of an outstanding debt of $120,000. This service agreement was terminated by mutual agreement on June 30, 2001. 10 At Sept 30, 2001 the Company has an amount of $94,898 outstanding to ("IIBI") for services that is comprised of $10,548 in interest accrued on the demand loan payable to ("IIBI") and $84,350 for management related services. The Company entered into an agreement on September 11, 2000 with International Investment Banking, Inc. ("IIBI") whereby IIBI provides the company with a credit line financing on a demand basis with interest accruing at prime rate plus 4%. This loan has a balance of $380,439 and $298,654 at September 30,2001 and December 31, 2000 respectively. The Company made an investment in Ultimate Franchise Systems, Inc. (USFI) on August 1, 2000 in an exchange of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's stock valued at $400,000 for 1,000,000 shares of common stock in USFI and other consideration, valued at $400,000. Further to the agreement the Company will develop a home delivery web site and on-line ordering system for a fee of $75.00 per unit per month in approximately 300 restaurants, plus a royalty of 5% of on-line gross sales.

For the nine months ending September 30, 2001, the Company entered into agreements for non-cash exchanges of stock for accounts payable satisfaction totaling $120,000. For the nine months ending September 30, 2001, the Company issued stock for cash totaling $65,000. 16 ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION QUALIFIED REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS Our independent accountant has qualified his report. They state that the audited financial statements of E-Rex, Inc. for the period ending December 31, 2000 have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. They note that the significant losses of our company as of December 31, 2000 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue in business. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company had significant losses of $727,599 for the three month period ended September 30, 2001, as compared to $2,219,832 for the three month period ended September 30, 2000, and losses of $2,640,320 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001. The reduction in losses for this quarter as compared to the same quarter of last year is due primarily to the reduction in general and administrative expenses associated with restructuring and changing management. Losses have been funded by the sale of additional securities and the issuance of stock for services. We expect losses to continue and have no firm commitments or sources of long-term capital. The Company intends to pursue its business plan and meet its reporting requirements utilizing cash made available from the private and future public sale of its securities as well as income for the Internet consulting division of the Company. The Company's management is aggressively pursuing relationships and markets for this division and is of the opinion that revenues from the sales of its securities will be sufficient to pay its expenses until its business operations create positive cash flow. The Company does not currently have sufficient capital to continue operations for the next twelve months and will have to raise additional capital to meet its business objectives as well as 1934 Act reporting requirements. On a long-term basis, the Company's liquidity is dependent on revenue generation, additional infusions of capital and potential debt financing. Company management believes that additional capital and debt financing in the short term will allow it to pursue its business plan and thereafter result in revenue and greater liquidity in the long term. However, we currently have no arrangements for such financing and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the needed additional equity or debt financing in the future. Revenue The Company's total revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2001 was $31,972 all of which was earned from web site design and consulting services rendered by the Company. The cost of sales for this period was $28,571, resulting in gross profit of $3,401 for the three month period. The Company reported revenues of $7,524 for the same period in 2000. The company reported revenue of $35,976 for the year ended December 31, 2000 and did not have any revenues for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. The Company's total revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 was $69,489, all of which were earned from web site design and consulting services rendered by the Company. The cost of sales for this period was $66,321, resulting in gross profit of $3,168. The Company reported revenues of $7,526 for the same period in 2000. 17 General and Administrative The Company's general and administrative expenses totaled $652,574 for the three month period ended September 30, 2001, as compared to $2,227,356 for the three month period ended September 30, 2000. Of the total general and administrative expenses, $287,826 is attributable to stock issued for services to various consultants, advisors, employees, and service providers to the Company. The substantial decline in operating expenses in the period ended September 2001 is due to final amortizing of accrued management fees expenses in the first quarter of 2001 in the amount of $1,258,045. These fees were related to the restructuring of the management team in early 2000 and are non-recurring. Because the Company does not have sufficient revenues or current assets to pay these providers in cash, it has continued to issue common stock for services, and anticipates that this pattern will continue during the coming year. The Company also recorded $63,295 in research and development expenses related to its Dragonfly product. No research and development expenses were recorded in the three month period ended September 30, 2000. The Company's general and administrative expenses totaled $2,462,981 for the nine month period September 30, 2001. Of the total general and administrative expenses, $1,102,544 is attributable to stock issued for services to various consultants, advisors, employees, and service providers to the Company. Because the Company does not have sufficient revenues or current assets to pay these providers in cash, it has continued to issue common stock for services, and anticipates that this pattern will continue during the coming year. The Company also recorded $134,484 in research and development expenses related to its Dragonfly product for the period. Net Losses Net losses for the three month period ended September 30, 2001 were $727,599 as compared to $2,219,832 for the three month period ended September 30, 2000, as a result of the change in general and administrative expenses as described above. The Company expects that it will continue to incur operating and net losses as a result of its insufficient revenue and continued issuance of stock for services. The loss per share for the quarter, based on a weighted average number of shares of 28,891,903 was $0.03 per share, compared with the loss per share of $0.12 based on a weighted average number of shares of 18,607,310 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. Net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $2,640,320. The loss per share, based on a weighted average number of shares of 26,447,106 was $0.10 per share, compared with the loss per share of $0.29 based on a weighted average number of shares of 18,607,310 for the period ended September 30, 2000. Liquidity and Capital Requirements The Company requires substantial capital in order to meet its ongoing corporate obligations and in order to continue and expand its current and strategic business plans. Working capital has been primarily obtained through the private placement of common stock. The web design and hosting business of the Company is in its infancy and is a minor part of the overall business. It is not expected that revenues from this area of the business will be sufficient in the near term to fund ongoing operations and development and the bringing to market of the Dragonfly. 18 The Company's plans for manufacturing, sales and distribution of the Dragonfly are focused on establishing an OEM licensing agreement with one or more electronics manufacturers who have the available resources and wholesale and retail distribution channels to satisfactorily bring the product to market. The Company will therefore need available capital to complete the Dragonfly prototypes estimated at approximately $125,000 and an estimated additional $325,000 for product testing, packaging and consumer research prior to manufacturing. Capital to promote the product and accomplish the sales and marketing to the OEM entities is estimated at $1,000,000 over the next 12 months. Head office and corporate operations including salaries, rent, miscellaneous office expenses, investor relations, legal and accounting for the next 12 months is estimated at $650,000. The total capital requirement is therefore estimated at $2,100,000. It is anticipated that equity line from Swartz Private Equity, LLC, will be sufficient to meet those needs, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the needed additional equity or debt financing in the future. In addition, the Swartz line of credit can only be utilized by the Company upon the effectiveness of this registration statement with the SEC, and then only if certain conditions are met and certain conditions precedent exist. It is possible that the company may not have sufficient capital to meet its short term requirements prior to the funding from the Swartz equity line becoming available and there is the potential due to market conditions that the amount of funding available under the Swartz financing agreement may be limited and not necessarily cover all operating and research and development expenses. The Company may also raise additional operating capital through other equity and/or debt offerings. However there can be no assurances that it will be successful in its endeavors. The Company received no proceeds from loans and cash from the issuance of stock of $65,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 resulting in net cash provided by financing activities of $65,000. The Company received proceeds from loans of $81,785 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 resulting in net cash provided by financing activities of $146,875. The Company invested $31,275.00 in development of an on-line ordering system for the fast food franchise industry during the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
